Peele teased his second movie in February, saying that he wanted to do a lot more within the horror genre.
“One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favorite,” he said. “That’s my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one.”
Us will be in theatres on March 15, 2019.
